Re: Linux: FreeFileSync using GTK3 on KDE is hanging
Dear Zenju, I have been investigating this a bit since I run on KDE, which caused trouble with gtk3 at the time of 12.1. Actually, I found that calling only Show() but not Hide() as code currently does since 12.1: - doesn't create the "freeze/hang" on KDE that appeared in 12.1 - fixes the...

Re: Move Filses after sync
Sounds like this case can be solved via the "Update" variant. I don't think so. If new files are created in the source during a sync, they won't get transferred to the destination, then the post-sync command will delete everything in the source, thus removing the new files that weren't ye...

In filesystem like NTFS, each file have a file ID, reside inside the MFT file record of each file, no matter how you change or move the file on the same NTFS volume, the file ID would remain the same. FreeFileSync use the file ID provided by the filesystem and store it into the database file sync.f...

Not directly. But when you go to "Shared with me" while logged in with your Google Drive account, then right-click "Organize -> Add to starred", the folder will be accessible from FreeFileSync.

Re: Why is 1 file wanting to be deleted from the Source?
" .ffs_tmp" files are a special case: They "belong" to FreeFileSync. If a new run finds them remnant from a previous sync, they will be unconditionally and permanently be deleted as a cleanup. See "fail-safe file copy".

Re: Install runtime error
Looks like anti virus software is blocking the installation.
Bitdefender is one such culprit.
BTW: FreeFileSync doesn't use .NET and the installer doesn't care about UAC being enabled or not (it does require admin rights, though).

Re: FTPS transfers VERY slow
The problem is that for "multiple threads" to boost transfer times your sync has to process multiple files. If there is only one file, multiple threads does nothing. FileZilla on the other hand splits up a single file into multiple uploads, which is a feature FreeFileSync does not have (at...

Good consideration... That only applies if you are using someone else's open source code in your own project. Correct. And FreeFileSync does not use other GPL-licensed code.
